ROTC Camp 
TrainsStudents 
In Military Skills 

Hy LARKY IOMKK 
Student Writer 

ROTC basic camp (fives a 
student an opportunity to acquire 
leadership experiences, earn 
college credit, make new friends 
and earn extra money. 

The camp, which lasts for six 
weeks, is designed to train college 
students in military skills. 

“It is not basic training." said Lt. 
Col. John Cassady of the military 
science department. 

“Emphases are placed on 
physical training and basic 
military skills. Students are 
exposed to hands-on training.” 
Cassady said 

The camp, which convenes 
several times during the summer 
at Fort Knox, is just one of many 
military options available to UTM 
students who wish to enter the 
advanced military program. 
Cassady added. 

“Basic camp provides an 
opportunity for students, last term 
freshmen and first term 
sophomores, to receive advance 
placement credit." -aid Ca.-.-ady 

Ivonne Font, a CTM student 
who attended basic camp last 
summer, said “It was a big 
experience...I didn't realize I could 
do so many things." 

According to Font, cadets were 
allowed to assume various titles 
captain, sergeant, etc - in 
exercising leadership roles 

All medical, housing, clothing 
and food expenses are provided for 
the cadets, according to Cassady. 

"It is one of the few things in life 
that is absolutely voluntary," he 
added. 

He said students can leave camp 
at any time and still be paid for the 
time they spent. 

Anyone interested in attending 
ROTC basic camp should contact 
the Department of 'Military 
Science at 7150,

15 Percent Hike Probable 



By STEVE WARREN 
Kditor 


College students throughout the 
University of Tennessee system 
may face a 15 percent fee increase 
when thev return to school next 
fall. 

The increase proposal was made 
public Monday night by Governor 
I amar Alexander in his annual 
state-of-the-state address. 

Alexander proposed the 15 
percent fee increase for 
undergraduate students, a 25 
percent increase for graduate 
students, and a45 percent increase 
for medical students. 

Alexander, however, also 
proposed an increase of state 
funding for higher education to 
compliment the increased student 
fees. 

UTM will have “an overall 
budget increase of about 2.71 
percent, including student fees 
and increased state appropria 
tions." according to UTM 
Chancellor Charles Smith. 

"This modest increase will 
barely accommodate the 
university's fixed cost increases, as 
the percent increase comes in the 
face of a 18 percent national 
inflation rate," stated Smith. 


Smith also expressed concern 
over the increased financial 
burden on students. 

“...These tuition hikes especially 
will hurt students and families 
from low and middle income 
brackets." Smith said. 

“I strongly urge the leadership 
of our state to examine carefully 
the balance between state support 
and tuition support of our stale 
higher education system and to 
take the necessary steps to guard 
against the further shifting of the 
costs to students and their 
parents." 

I'T President Edward ,1. Boling 
states tht Governor Alexanders 
proposal “...produces mixed 
reactions." 

Both Boling and Smith pointed 
out that they were not displeased 
with the governor's pro|«isals. 

"Generally, the governor- 
budget recommendations improve 
the fiscal standing of ourcampuses 
at Knoxville. Chattanooga and 
Martin over their post- 
impoundment condition in the 
current year," said Boling. 

"This is a fair and equal 
distribution of the funds. I can t 
stand up here and tell you that 
UTM was treated unfairly, 
because it wasn't.” said Smith at 
a I uesdat facultv luncheon 


Smith also expressed optimism 
over the increasing awareness in 
state government of the plight of 
higher education in Tennessee. 

"The day has passed in this 
administration when higher 
education has to bear the 
burden..."

Governor Alexander's state-of-the- 
state address Monday night contained 
few surprises for anyone—including 
state educators. 

While many people were dismayed at 
the proposed 15 percent increase in 
student fees The Pacer is happy that 
the proposed increase isn’t larger. 

We are also particularly pleased that 
the governor has chosen to ask many 
institutions and branches of state 
government to cut back instead of 
cutting the majority of the deficit from 
higher education again. 

One reason that higher education got 
a fair deal this time may have been the 
lobbying and letter-writing encouraged 
and accomplished by student 
governments, student newspapers, 
campus administrations, and 
individual students throughout the 
UT system. 

The theme of most of the letters was 
that students realized they would have 
to share more of the burden of their 
education, but that the state should 
match their increased fees with 
increased state appropriations. 

Our voices were heard 

Governor Alexander has been made 
to take a longhard look at the tax base in 
Tennessee. He has realized that the only 
possible way to keep programs and 


services operating in the face of thirteen 
percent inflation is to give those 
programs more funding. 

The only way to obtain more funding 
is to take in more money. And the only 
way for the state to take in more money 
is to introduce its tax base to the 
twentieth century. 

It is only fair to point out that the 
people of this state must now decide 
whether they want increased taxes or 
decreased services. They must realize 
the necessity of choosing one or the 
other. 

And our job isn’t over. 

Alexander’s proposals must now pass 
the state legislature. The students, 
instructors, and administrators of the 
entire UT system must now shift fires to 
their legislators. 

Let’s let them know how we feel about 
this issue. It has already been proven 
that our combined voices can make a 
difference. Call your congressmen; 
write them letters; speak to them in 
whenever possible. 

Lets make it known that the time has 
not arrived, and that it should never 
arrive, when a high school graduate’s 
decision to go to college will be based on 
his bank account rather than his 
intelligence or his desires.

Japanese Students Bring 
Fiscal, Cultural Benefits 


By DOROTHY BOCK 


“They uw the cam pu* and 
that wat a tremendoui 
attraction, becauae it went 
with their idea of what an 
American university should 
be like,’ Eisterhold said. 

UTM should experience 
financial benefits from the 
contract in areas such as 
housing, food services, the 
bookstore and administra¬ 
tive overhead. 

The impact on housing 
will be tremendous, 
according to Eisterhold, 
because Atrium will be 
bringing in money this 
summer instead of standing 
vacant. 

“Atrium, which usually 
sits closed during the 
summer, will be filled 
nearly to capacity with the 
Japanese students and this 
will help the debt which is 
still being paid on the 
facility,” he said. 

Food services will be able 
to produce better quality 
food during the summer 
because of the contract 

“Part of the contract is 
that the Japanese students 
will be on a meal plan for 70 
days, which should push up 
the volume and variety of 
food provided by food 
services,” Eisterhold 
explained. 

UTM will have a lot of 
administrative overhead 
which, according to 
Eisterhold, will help the 
budget. 

“It should provide a 
minimum $75,000 for just 
administrative overhead. 
That’s unallocated money, 
and with tax collections as 
they are, $75,000 is a lot of 
money to acquire for heating 
and cooling.” 

The Japanese contract 
will also affect the UTM 
bookstore because the 
Japanese students will also 
have to sign for books, just as 
American students do. 

“Also, since they will be 


sort of tourists, they will 
probably spend more money 
than the typical American 
students on such things as 
sweat shirts and other UTM 
items. 

“So. the bookstore should 
be able to carry much better 
stock and American 
students that are here will 
have better selections to 
choose from,” Eisterhold 
said. 

He went on to explain that 
besides the obvious financial 
benefits there are also 
possible cultural benefits. 

“I want to make this 
something that American 
students and Japanese 
students benefit from 
culturally. 

“Social and athletic events 
will be structured so that 
there’s a lot of intermingling 
among the two groups,” 

Eisterhold said. 

Before arriving at UTM, 
the 200 selected students 
will study parts of American 
culture,- according to 
Eisterhold. 

“Starting in April they’re 
going to get together on a 
weekly basis and discuss 
American culture. 

“Gestures will be explain¬ 
ed, because some nice resistance after subjection to 
gestures we make could be wear and washings? 
offensive to the Japanese, That was the question 
while some nice Japanese UTM Associate Professor of 
gestures may be taken as Textiles and Clothing, 
insults by Americans,” Virginia Pope, sought to 
Eisterhold said. answer with help from the 

Sharon Manufacturing 
Company. 

With a faculty research 
grant from the university in 


The negotiations between 
UTM and Japan’s Nihon 
University, which resulted 
in the awarding of the 
$450,000 contract, started 
about 20 months ago, 
according to John Eister¬ 
hold, director of Interna¬ 
tional Programs. 

“About 20 months ago I 
received a letter from N ihon 
saying they were interested 
in us. which was really 
interesting because the 
Japanese are really good to 
work with. 

“I went toTokyo in June of 
1979 and told them if they 
were interested I needed to 
talk with them. There was a 
group of 17 people and we 
talked about putting 
together a program that 
would be like a year abroad 
program, which would be 
about eight and one half 
months. 

“In September about 20 
people visited the campus. It 
later occured to us that they 
had to get approval from 
various administrators 
before making a final 
decision. They travel 
through a lot of different 
levels because they do things 
very carefully,” Eisterhold 
said. 

Finally the Japanese got 
permission to try UTM as a 
trial experience this 
summer. 

According to Eisterhold 
there was some heavy 
competition from other 
universities for the contract. 

I’m really flattered that 
they chose this university. 

“I think one of the main 
reasons we got the contract 
is because we have some 
great instructors in our 
department, some of the best 
in the country. I'm really 
proud of my staff because of 
its good talent, enthusiasm 
and skill.

three pairs of pajamas are 
randomly selected from 500

“We have not done the

stated, “but- we know we 
have retested and done the 
burning test on all of the 
samples from the pajamas 
and every pair has passed 
the flame retest standards." 

Had the results of the 
Study been unfavorable, a 
closer look at the fabric 
would have been taken by 
the company.

The major things they will 
be studying this summer 
will be English, which is 
preparatory to them getting 
into academics, Eisterhold 
said. 

“If we get everything 
together I think we can 
make this summer enjoyable 
as well as educational. I'm 
going to do my best, and I 
know my staff will back me 
up 1000 percent,” he 
concluded.

distributing pajamasd, sizes 
7-14, for children to wear 
under normal conditions 
from from Sept, through 
June 1980. 

The grant money covered 
the cost of detergents and

Tolis attributed much of 
his team's success this 
season to signing High. The 
Pacers currently have an 8-6 
record overall an stand 2-2 
in the Gulf South Confer¬ 
ence. 

“I had seen Curtis play 
several times and felt he was 
the best high school guard in 
Alabama,” said Tolis. “so we 
just kept trying. A lot of 
people who recruited Curtis 
didn’t pursue as strongly as 
we did because they felt that 
he would go to Lawson State 
where his brothers had 
played." 

The Pacers were still in 
the dark as to H igh's fate last 
summer. 

“Even as late as the second 
week in August, we didn’t 
know if Curtis was coming 
or not,” said UTM assistant 
Ralph Radford. “We had 
recruited him all summer 
and were about to the point 
where we were losing hope 
when he called Coach Tolis 
and said he would come.” 

As for his decision on 
UTM, High said that “it was 
kind of hard to turn down 
some of the offers that I had 
gotten and it was really a 
last minute decision, but I’m 
very happy with the way 
things turned out.” 

In commenting on the 
Pacers’ style of play, High 
said, “I like Coach Tolis’

elements,” Spears said. “Students 
can then learn up to 50,000 words." 

Although a vocabulary course is 
not offered at the University of 
Tennessee Center for the Health 
Sciences, medical students have to 
learn the terms sooner or later, 
and, according to Spears, medical 
students from UTM are previously 
prepared. 

“It is presumed that medical 
students know the language." 
Spears stated. “If a student has had 
this course, he writes with ease. If 
not, he spends endless hours in a 
dictionary after lectures. 

“I believe in every course that I 
teach, but there is not another 
course that I teach or enjoy 
anymore than ‘Medical and 
Scientific Vocabulary,’ " Spears 
said. 

In honor of Spears’ accomplish¬ 
ment, the English department will 
hold a reception honoring the 
English professor on Friday, Feb. 
6, from 10:30-11:30 p.m. in Rooms 
201-202 of the University Center. 
Everyone is invited. 

“This is another example of the 
versatile and productive career 
that Jim Spears has had at UTM,” 
commented English Department 
Chairman John McCluskey. “He 
had published books on subjects as 
varied as technical writing, 
folklore and Chaucer. 

“I am proud of his latest 
achievement.”

nary, nursing and para medical 
students vocabulary in his 
“Medical and Scientific Vocabu- 
lary " class. English 3150. The class 
will be offered Spring Quarter at 
UTM. 

“The text is really a culmination 
of my six years in teaching and 
developing the course," he said. “I 
was the one who wrote the 
curriculum proposal for the 
course." 

According to Spears, the 
previous text he was utilizing in 
the course contained superfluous 
material, lacked organization and 
supplied a high redundancy of 
roots, suffixes and prefixes. 

Spears described his University 
of Tennessee at Knoxville text as 
better organized, accommodative 
to his style of teaching and listing a 
larger number of words. 

As one of a few professors at 
UTM who have written their own 
texts, Spears stated that writing 
his text book took many late nights 
and weekends—late nights he 
would have liked to have slept and 
weekends he would have enjoyed 
watching the ballgames. 

“When my publisher called and 
asked what color I wanted the 
cover to be, I quickly responded, 
‘Coffee and creme,’ because it took 
1000 gallons of coffee and 100 
gallons of creme to write this 
book,” Spears said. 

The anatomical illustrations 
were drawn by Ron Gifford, a 
UTM graduate in English and art 
who teaches English and art in 
Dresden. Gifford also designed the 
cover. 

Spears text and course deals 
with root words, suffixes and 
prefixes that. according to Spears, 
might not help students to make 
higher grades on professional 
tests, but will give them thetoolsof 
vocabulary for medical school. 

“My approach in teaching (the 
vocabulary course) is to teach

Alpha Zeta Helps Rodeo 


By JUDY REGISTER 
Associate News Editor 

Alpha Zeta, an honorary 
agriculture fraternity, is teaming 
up with the Rodeo Team and Rodeo 
Club this quarter for their service 


project, according to Renee 
Flinchum, member of Alpha Zeta. 

“We’re a small organization 
compared to other fraternities, 
and we knew it would be hard to 
start from scratch with a big 


service project,” she said. “Instead, 
we plan to help the Rodeo Team 
and Club with the business end of 
the rodeo by selling the ads and 
advance tickets for the program 
booklet and the rodeo.” 

Bill Conley, president of Alpha 
Zeta, presented the idea to the 
Rodeo Club, who discussed it and 
agreed to give Alpha Zeta a one- 
third commission for each ad and 
ticket which they sold, according 
to Flinchum. 

“Being a member of both 
organizations I can say that the 
idea truly caught everyone on fire 
to get to work onit,” Flinchum said. 

Alpha Zeta has already started 
selling ads for the program 
booklet, according to Flinchum, 
and the rodeo team is grateful for 
the help because it gives them time 
to work on building the arena and 
getting the animals. 

“We really are glad that the 
Rodeo Team and Redeo Club are 
letting us help,” concluded 
Flinchum.
